BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 12:52 am 27 grams and it's supossed to weigh 27.2 grams, so it's close enough there. It's a common date that looks like a cleaned VF+ worth about $80 if genuine. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 01:02 am The obverse and reverse pairing is good, a mismatch is usually the first sign of a fake. Overall, it looks good to me although probably priced a little high considering it has been harshly cleaned. However, the seller is at least asking a somewhat reasonable price instead of the typical CL seller fantasy price Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 07:20 am Fakes of these can often be detected by testing for poor silver alloy. A comparison ring tone test with a known genuine coin as a reference may reveal it this one is a fake or no. Report this Post to the Staff
